I am thinking he is my last hope of getting the linkages on this Columbia grafonola correct. This is the one where the on/off mech, the speed control and a strange looking intermediate link are not correctly set, so that none of them work. This model is the only table model made after 1924, but there were several uprights, all of which had a sort of pyramidal lid and some had two compartments on the back with doors over them. I have heard they were for storing booze during Prohibition. Any leads, as always, greatly appreciated.

Re: [Phono-L] union
There has been an issue with trading in the parking lot on the Thursday before the show in the past. That has expanded to exhibitors trading just about anywhere on Thursday if its officially organized.

I see. Certainly if some folks are using the parking lot, that would be a problem. But if they are at the Hess Gas Station down the Street, or have rented some space at some ball field, then what's the problem ?? Certainly nothing wrong with that.

Re: [Phono-L] union
These folks have spent 30+ years building Union from a couple circus tents to what it is today. They've served the sellers magnificently and have every right to preserve the integrity of the show for the buyers. To start something extra the day before the main event is selfish, greedy AND unethical! And ANYONE who does so should be blackballed by the Donley's as well as by sellers and buyers!! If another show is needed, do it the week-end before or after and let the public decide - don't rip-off somebody elses efforts. best, Darrell = bruce78...@comcast.net wrote: So it appears these folks want to be the only game in town? and are blackballing anyone who dares to start there own little trading and selling station, even when it is seperate and apart from their own operation ?

Re: [Phono-L] union
I'm at the show and word here is that the pre show was poorly attended and many doubt it will occur again. As for the whole story I know a few things but not the while story. Isuspectvi know who is behind it but I'll leave that to those that can confirm things. I think darrells assessment is very thougtful and right on the money. The show should not have and does not deserve a second show as competition. It's upsurd. I love the union show and it was large and well attended this year. Lots of unsold good deals so far but I suspect last minute finished deals will happen Sunday.

Would you consider that ripping off the Donleys ? My little yard sale of phono stuff is certainly not going to keep collectors from visiting the Union show and paying their admission charge. This sort of thing happens everywhere. Up here in the northeast we have the Giant Flea Market in Brimfield every year just north of Sturbridge, and for a wholeweek the locals have their little offshoots of the giant flea market at homes and fields and and whatever open space there is throughout the area, but it certainly doesn't keep people from visiting the big Brimfield event. It is just part of the free enterprise system. Sure these folks are feeding off of the big event, but that is life. No one has a monopoly on free enterprise and the en treprenerial spirit. There aren't cops out there, taking down license numbers and checking folks out like the FBI and passing names along so they can be blackballed by the owners of the big event. - Original Message - From: Darrell Lehmannickja...@gmail.com To: Antique Phonograph Listphono-l@oldcrank.org Sent: Saturday, June 12, 2010 1:30:18 PM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern Subject: Re: [Phono-L] union These folks have spent 30+ years building Union from a couple circus tents to what it is today.

Re: [Phono-L] Paint on horn
Spot check a small area with the Meguiar's product Ultimate Compound. I've used this on chalky paint with good results. I don't know how it will do with your challenge, but my experience is that it doesn't load itself into the paint, like other polishing compounds tend to do on aged surfaces that won't otherwise polish. This product is much milder than DuPont #7 Polishing compound, and seems to be smart about removing just the dead pigment; not nearly as aggressively as other products. Still, I'd go slow and stop to determine your progress often (assuming it passes the spot test). This is a pretty amazing product and will work nicely to really shine up shellac or lacquer finishes on wood, and just about anything else. Leaves no residue, has no waxy stuff or silicone in it. Might want to follow it up with a high quality wax to give it extra protection, assuming you get the desired result. Available from auto parts stores. If you try this, post your results.

Re: [Phono-L] Paint on horn
Car polish designed to clean clear-coat should help. It is very mild and fine abrasive. Test it in an inconspicuous spot first, of course such as on a panel near the bell, opposite the suspension hook. Use a Q tip.

Re: [Phono-L] union
I'm at Union and am enjoying the Show very much as usual. Everyone seemed to be treated fairly this year as far as I know. I didn't go to the pre-show but heard it was not well attended. I do admit missing some of the parking lot action at Union the day before the Show, but when people started moving the parking lot action earlier and earlier until some were arriving 3 or more days before the Show it was unmanageable. I like the Union Show and plan to keep coming. For me it's as much about seeing and greeting old friends as it is about buying and selling. I feel blessed to know and be around such wonderful people from all over the world.
